Building Civil Protection 2.0 Civil Protection is the term widely used in Europe to describe the organized action aimed at coping with collective threats caused by natural or human induced disasters.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 What is Civil Protection? Civil Protection is the term widely used in Europe to describe the organized action aimed at coping with collective threats caused by natural or human induced disasters.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 What is Civil Protection? The Italian Law deﬁnes civil protection as complex system of governance for the safeguard of human lives, health, economic assets, cultural and architectural heritage, human settlements and environment from any kind of disaster either natural or man made.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Civil Protection System The Italian Legal Framework Law no. 225 of 24 February 1992 The Civil Protection Authorities - Central Government, Regions, Provinces, Municipalities, Municipal Districts and Mountain Communities contribute to civil protection activities using their procedures and regulations collaborate with central government, public agencies, institutes, scientiﬁc research groups and organizations.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Italian Civil Protection System Vertical and Horizontal Coordination Vertical institutions and bodies at different territorial levels (State and Local) Horizontal the actions of the different bodies of a single system and level (i.e. State or Region) to achieve a common goal.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Italian Civil Protection System Horizontal Coordination It implies to be able to work in a cooperative way, avoiding any jealousy or partisan behaviour, whether it is a Ministry or an agency. The aim is that each one does its best in order to accomplish what, where and when, is needed.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Italian Civil Protection System Horizontal Coordination Italian National Department of Civil Protection - Advertising Campaign • 2.500organisations [associations and by the Law 225/1992, paragraph 11 municipality groups] FOREST FORCE - 1.000.000 volunteers - time of response: 60.000 in 60 min FIRE BRIGADE - time of response: 300.000 in few h VOLUNTEERS ORGANISATIONS ARMED FORCES NATIONAL ALPINE RESCUE CORPS Operational Bodies at National level POLICE FORCE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC THE ITALIAN RED CROSS RESEARCH GROUPS

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Role of the Volunteers “They have a love for what they are doing, which can only be captured through values and attitudes” [Knowles;1975] Abruzzo Emergency - Volunteers and Population in Roio Piano Rescue Camp By the Law 225 par. 11, the Volunteer Organisations are one of the key back bone of the system, as the other national agencies and bodies Volunteers Organisations autonomously organise informal and non-formal training initiatives and participate to formal training programmes Commitment and Experience are key to develop the ability to manage emergency events

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Civil Protection System Vertical Coordination Abruzzo Emergency - Earthquake, photo by Elena Rapisardi Vertical coordination is based on “subsidiarity”, supported by the European Union. Subsidiarity is the idea that the central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed effectively at local level.

Building Civil Protection 2.0 The Local Authorities Ambrogio Lorenzetti (Siena, 1290 – Siena, 1348) 20 Regions 104 Provinces 8.104 Municipalities Municipalities, Provinces and Regions, thanks to their ﬁnancial autonomy are able to ﬁnance the “primary” service of civil protection; have the duty to manage administrative functions in civil protection.

Internet, phone, mobile connections were active soon after the earthquake, mostly everywhere. Problem Information handover - Local server failures - Fax, radio, phone did not ensure the need of information sharing Solution Free web based tools in order to ‣ store and categorise all the crucial information ‣ allow the creation of a network between all the operators - in the emergency territory and at home - so to exchange information and knowledge at distance
